What can we do? My THISAM Story

Walking through the streets of Thessaloniki, and enjoying a free afternoon, I saw a tree in front of me that caught my attention. It was decorated with lanterns that swayed gently in the summer breeze. I stopped to take a picture of them. An interesting and unusual sight, worth photographing in my opinion, because that is exactly what I enjoy, the small things.
